Hi Megan I'm 11 years old too. I'm a girl and also on a pump ( The accucheck spirit combo). My HBA1C is 8.5 and do some advice , it would be good to hear from someone who knows what I'm going through and can relate to to that. Any advice?

Hi to all of you young pump users ! ... As a 39 year old woman pump user , I can tell you that I admire you. Eventough I was diagnosed at 25, it was stilll hard at the beginning.

As a woman, I want to share my tutorials on how you can still dress the way you like with your pump, and still hide it. I get bored with answering questions on my pump and just feel better hiding it ...

Check out the ones in english , and If you can have your Mom Dad or somebody to watch them , it would be helpful. We all need each other !

Here is the link :

Wish you the best.

hai Megan. I'm 13 and im sorta similar to you, sorta, im not on a pump though im on a pen and I don't really ever have good sugars :oops: :cry: how is it having the pump though? I really don't want one but ive always wondered what they're like. the reason I don't want one is because I love to run around at lunch with my friends and I think I wont be able to do that if I get it. Anyway its great to know that you have good sugars and a HBA1c mines about 9 ,well done me :clap:

Don't worry, It doesn't really effect your pfriend time. Although don't wear puffy coats with them (OMG). But I find it easier to control diabetes with for me. :)
